Warning

John McCain reacts to censure from his party by saying it “fires him up.” Neither to do better, nor to represent those of his constituents who might actually vote for him. Quite the contrary. McCain gives the impression of wanting to run for another U.S. Senate term (he was first elected to the Senate in 1986 and was in the House before that; what was it Oliver Cromwell said to the Long Parliament? Might apply to McAmnesty…) simply to spite Arizona Republicans who think his Senate record is, to quote their censure, “disastrous and harmful.”

McCain, not usually a serene fellow, seems quite serene that his machine and his supporters` money—Sheldon Adelson among them?—will waft him safely over any brickbats from the little people.
